I both love and hate this time of year. I love the nip in the air, pumpkin pie, warm mulled cider and the beautiful autumnal foliage. But what I really hate...cannot in the least bit tolerate are these stinking brown huge icky spiders that invade my house every year at this time.
Last night, Keith had a friend over. When he went to leave, there were 2 of them just hangin' out by the front door...like they're invisible and I can't see them. So we killed those. YES...WE KILLED THEM. (and don't be giving me any sass about 'oh they're good for the environment') What a bunch of hooey. So then, about 5 minutes after the first slaughter, I opened the front door to spray the threshold with my super-duper spider killing spray, and another one runs out from under the door and into the house.
...So I sprayed the crap out of him as well...until he was curled up...D-E-A-D in about 2 inches of poison. HAH! "Let that be a lesson to the rest of you," I screamed out the front door.
(no...I didn't actually say that...are you kidding...the neighbors would think I'm nuts...and we all know that isn't true)
er hummm...so, THEN, about 30 minutes later...I'm taking a load of washed clothing into our master bath, flick on the light, and one of them starts scurrying across the tile.
WHAT!!!!!! I squealed and promptly smooshed his creepy-ness with my size 8's.
EEEEEENUFFFFFFFFF ALLLLLLREADEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
...sheesh...

Prize for the cutest little girl! She just makes us smile!
Coach signature purple flap
A blog about 5 friends. Each of us unique and different and yet fondly connected. We meet each month to celebrate birthdays or just catch up on life. These are our stories.
Bethie June
Prize for the cutest little girl! She just makes us smile!
Bethie June loves the ocean, collecting vintage yellow pottery. Her favorite words are "mocha" and "tropicamide". She promotes the healing power of chocolate to all who will listen. But, will not share her chocolate with heathens with no appreciation of it's wonderfulness. She also enjoys cake and most recently was introduced to coconut chocolate chip cookies.
Famous quotes:
"We were purple before purple was cool."
Momo
Marilyn, aka MoMo, shares her life with Keekers the cat and a mischievous Boston Terrier named Pepito. Her aspirations include making sugar cookies like Krissy, being organized like Susan, cooking like Wendy and singing all the words of Midnight Train to Georgia with Beth. [woo woo] She is also a tireless advocate of promoting world peace through the distribution and consumption of butter. Or at least expanding the size of her own backside through her personal consumption of the most delicious thing on the planet.
Famous Quotes:
"Ding dang..."
"Check yourself before you wreck yourself."
"I'll hold it for ya..."
Krissy
Known for her scrumptious cut-out cookies, Krissy loves Chicago, vintage fiestaware, explosion packed movies, Talbot's, red hair and peas. She recently said goodbye to her kitty of 16 years, Chip. Krissy and her other kitty, Winnie, will miss Chip very much...and so will the rest of the Fab Five.
August 2010: Krissy and Winnie wish a very warm and happy welcome to little furball, Miss Zella. May the lint roller be with you!
Famous quotes:
"Ya know Scott's is this weekend."
"It got the ding."
"It's pea-ish in nature."
"Suck it up cupcake."
Susan
A few things Susan would like to achieve in her lifetime is to have all of her fingernails the same length...for more than a day. And elevate butter to the status it deserves as the most delicious thing on the planet.
Famous quotes:
"What's a quad and where is it?"
"Spinach is the broom of the stomach."
Wendy
Wendy, aka "Crate & Barrel Wendy", is quite the fabulous gourmand. Lover of her church, music, and all things OSU, including Brutus, the buckeye kitty. She enjoys collecting handbags, cookbooks, and aprons. She dreams of living part-time in the windy city some day. If Wendy were given an Indian name it would be "Stands With A Purse".
Famous quotes:
"It's a freakin' ring!"
"But I want them."
"Indefinitely means indefinitely."

Are you talking about Daddylonglegs? call the bug man. that's what Mom does.
I an so glad there is someone else in this world who doesn't mind to "save the spider" bu KILLS IT DEAD!! Hooray for you Susan! You're my hero. I HATE SPIDERS!!!
I hate the bugz, too. Occasionally, however, I will capture them in a cup and set them free outside, but only because crushing them gives me the creeps, and I have to be careful of bug spray because of my pets. One time I found one in my empty WASHING MACHINE. I almost had to move and start over somewhere else.
